LeBlanc, who is out of options, elected free agency after being outrighted off the Yankees' 40-man roster and ultimately chose to return to the organization he began the season with.

The 29-year-old posted a 4.51 ERA in 96 games (68 starts) with the Padres, Marlins and Astros from 2008-13. LeBlanc joins Joel Pineiro, Jarrett Grube, Justin Thomas, Anthony Lerew and Jose Alvarez (on the Minor League disabled list with a left elbow strain) as Triple-A starters.
